Lock-In Automatic Profits From A Game-In-Progress
Lock-In Automatic Profits From A Game-In-Progress
Just imagine that a game you bet has started and you still have the option to placenewbets throughout the game.
Even after a game has started you can bet again and LOCK-IN automatic profits.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ?
The bettingexchangesoftware allows the players to post their dollar odds on games in progress. If a Baseball team is+140 on the road and you risk $100 to win +$140 and your team scores 4 runs in third inning, then someone would put up say +$150 on the home team to come back and win. Now you can take that posted number and LOCK-IN your bet.
You are then guaranteed a profit no matter which team wins.
Either win $140 on the away team minus the $100 on the home team for an automatic profit of $40 ---- if the away team holds their early lead and wins the game. If the home team comes back to win the game you win $150 and lose $100 for a profit of $50. This is great action as you have to be prepared to uncover your best value and watch the posting board and the game at the same time.
This also helps you to hedge your original bet if you want to get out of that position you took. You can go the other way if you feel you want to limit your perceived losses.
Perhaps the best Alternative Lines are the Alternative Run Lines for Baseball games. Here are some examples :
METS @BRAVES
Mets are +140 on Money Line and -150 on +1.5 runs (plus one & half runs)
Braves are -160 on Money Line and +140 on -1.5 runs (minus one & half runs)
All baseball bettors are familiar with the Run Line. The Alternative Run Line also allows you to bet the Run Line (-1.5) both ways oneach team.
The Braves, as the favorite, are listed at +140 for laying the 1.5 runs or -1.5. The next listing will have the Braves listed at -240 to receive+1.5 runs. The money odds are examples and probably close to actual numbers depending on the games and listed pitchers.
The Mets, as the underdog, are listed at -150 for receiving the 1.5 runs or +1.5. The next listing will have the Mets listed at +210 for laying the 1.5 runs or -1.5.
Here are some Facts to consider when betting the Run Lines.
Major League Baseball produces approximately 30% one run games each year.
This means that around 70% of all games are settled by 2 runs or more. I did test this fact that I call the 70/30 rule. The past 5 years results of each team`s one run games were between 28% to 32% with an average of 30%. Out of 162 games played, each team had a one run game around 48 times (plus or minus4 games).
Each team will play a one run game about 8 to 10 times per month.
